caliper rebuild kits
« on: February 11, 2017, 07:22:16 PM »
anybody know where the cheapest deals are for 750f2 caliper pistons and seals? DS seems a little steep, especially as i'm rebuilding two bikes at the same time. ta.

DS knows that some parts are hard to get so their prices reflect that, but in all fairness they are not too bad, you want it and if they've got it they will charge, have you looked at 4 into1 in California i got some parts for my 350 from them and it worked out cheaper than DS even with postage, try rebuilding a Z1.

i'll look them up, thanks. DS is fairly priced as you said, but i need to shop around for the best deal as i only have around £4000 budget to rebuild both bikes. to be honest, i couldnt afford to buy let alone rebuild a Z1!

i recently rebuilt the brakes on a mates cb900 custom & got all the parts from powerhouse uk off ebay , phoned them up as the rear caliper kit wasn't listed , gave them the dimensions & they sorted it ,  :)very helpful

I believe Motor Cycle repairers can order pistons and seals by dimension from  Hi Level

I've used powerhouse also on several bikes. Great service, great products, fairly priced.
